Wilcannia

Located 965 klm north west of Sydney on the banks of the Darling River is the town of Wilcannia.  Whilst it has signs of having once been a thriving community the population now is approximately 600 and many of the buildings are abandoned.

It has a large Aboriginal community, being the traditional home of the Barkindji people

On the Barrier Highway 196 klm from Broken Hill you would likely only stop to refuel.

Topaz Filters in Photoshop

I've been having some fun with the Topaz filters available as a plug-in for Photoshop. These shots of Peterson's Champagne House in the Hunter Valley and the Sydney Opera House have been "tweaked" with Topaz Adjust (click for larger images)
